Water wars.

Water shortages don't always result from climate change alone.

They're also due to massive gov't incompetence and/or corruption of infrastructure service providers. And lack of planning.

Who would have guessed a booming city would need more water? 🤔

GOOD Councillor Marius van Stade has formally requested an urgent, transparent audit after reports suggested Stellenbosch could face severe water shortages.

The people deserve verified facts, professional oversight, and full accountability.

England facing drastic measures due to extreme drought next year Government and water companies are devising emergency plans for worst water shortage in decades

The UK hasn’t built a reservoir since 1992. Think of the population increase since then, it’s mind-blowing that water companies have been allowed to do nothing but pay out to shareholders until crisis point is reached. #r4today #WaterShortages

A recent US study found large data centres can consume up to 19 million litres per day—the same as a town of 50,000 people.

Walvis Bay vows action on fishing sector’s water woes The Walvis Bay municipality has acknowledged the fishing sector’s concerns over recent water shortages caused by power outages, pipeline damage and cable theft at the town. Spokesperson Anita Kaihiva in a statement released yesterday said the municipality is committed to working with all stakeholders to remedy the situation as soon as possible. “We would like to assure the public and all stakeholders, including the fishing industry, that the municipality has been in continuous communication with NamWater and has been actively disseminating updates and advisories through various platforms as the situation unfolds. “While we understand the frustration and concern from affected industries, we remain committed to working with all stakeholders to mitigate the impact as best as possible,” she said. The municipality further said it intends to keep NamWater aware of the community’s concerns and keep it updated on any further developments. Kaihiva said the water supply challenges started in early February due to power outages experienced by NamWater, particularly in the Rooibank A and Swartbank areas. By late February, Dorop and Rooibank B were also experiencing electrical supply issues. “Regrettably, the situation has been worsened by a major bulk pipeline burst reported on 13 May, followed by yet another power outage and incident of electrical cable theft reported on 17 May,” she said. The post Walvis Bay vows action on fishing sector’s water woes appeared first on The Namibian.

Millions of people facing water shortages because animal agriculture is using most of the supply don’t have a choice. 

All the people suffering from ailments caused by living near factory farms don’t have a choice.

A bottle of water per email: the hidden environmental costs of using AI chatbots AI needs a lot of electricity and water to stay cool in data centers. We break down the toll prompt-by-prompt to show the scale of AI’s environmental needs.

This is a gift article (you can read without a subscription) about the amount of water and energy used by AI Data Centers. A 100 word email uses 8 oz of water. I was shocked.

New governors to focus on green schemes, water shortages Newly appointed Kavango East and Oshikoto regional governors have set their eyes on addressing food insecurity and water shortages in their respective regions. Julius Hambyuka, who was appointed Kavango East governor by president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah last week, has vowed to revamp the region’s poor-performing green schemes. “Both Kavango regions are blessed with an abundance of resources, one being vegetation, and I will make sure our green schemes are functioning again so we address food security in the region and the country,” he says. Hambyuka replaces former governor Bonifatius Wakudumo, whose term was not extended for an additional three months. The new governor says the region has all it takes to provide food security for the entire country with proper structures, and his office will ensure it reaches its envisaged potential. Hambyuka says he will engage various stakeholders to revive the green schemes, thereby also ensuring job opportunities are provided. He is adamant that only capable people will be put in charge to run the schemes, citing they cannot afford to waste government funds. Hambyuka was speaking to The Namibian at State House last week after the president announced the new governors. Oshikoto region governor Sacky Kathindi, who replaces Penda ya Ndakolo, says he will work closely with the already established structures to improve living conditions in the region, while the water crisis remains his top priority. “But I will work with the plans and ideas put in place to improve the livelihoods of our people,” he says. Kathindi says he is not new and has served the region in various capacities, but believes regions should always work together to address bread-and-butter issues. Political commentator Erika Thomas previously said the president would need to appoint people who will revisit all dormant government projects and revive them for food security, doing away with “dependency syndrome”. She said Namibia is too rich to be poor and the population too small to be finding it hard to address issues affecting its people. The post New governors to focus on green schemes, water shortages appeared first on The Namibian.
